Sick turkey! Ideas neede

[Charris610]

Hi everyone!
I noticed yesterday one of my turkey poults ( about 4-5 weeks old) was wobbling around the enclosure and kept acting like she didn’t feel well. I immediately separated her and brought her in the house. I used vet rx and nutri drench to get her to consume a little. She had fluid coming from her nose for the first few hours. Then she decided to eat a ton and drink warmed sugar water on her own. She did fantastic overnight and today no runny nose or “ sick behavior” still a tad wobbly. But much improved. Is there anything else I should be doing?

What are you feeding?

I’m feeding her crumbled chick starter as well as loads of fresh water with electrolyte solution in it. She’s been eating and drinking a lot all day. I almost wonder if the others bullied her and didn’t allow her to eat or drink.

You need something with higher protein because they grow so rapidly. I use game bird food mixed with a little chick starter.

I will do that thanks! I was able to reintegrate her with her friends after a few days. I think she wanted the heat, food and water to herself. The next morning she was a different bird. I think I got played!

I lost two chick because the bigger chicks would not let them eat or drink and they were too weak to fight for it.
